Washington--Joseph Cardinal Bernardin of Chicago, speaking at last week's meeting of the National Catholic Educational Association (ncea), asked educators to help develop through their teaching "the living message" of a pastoral letter on nuclear-war issues being drafted by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Cardinal Bernardin, who is chairman of the committee of the national conference that is working on the letter, was a principal speaker at the four-day meeting attended by several thousand Catholic educators from across the country.
The third draft of the letter was released last week. Cardinal Bernardin said after his speech that the letter was made more "flexible" in accordance with the views of some conservative clergymen and the Reagan Administration.
For example, the bishops now call for a "curb" on development and production of new weapons systems instead of the "halt" called for in earlier drafts.
However, the 150-page letter still opposes the initiation of nuclear war and nuclear strikes against civilian populations.
In his address--"The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response"--Cardinal Bernardin said that he hopes "the pastoral letter will not end up as a document gathering dust on the shelf ... I hope also that this [letter] is not experienced as something imposed from above as the final word on the subject, but as an invitation to enter into a continuing process of sharing and learning."
The new draft, which will be completed early next month in Chicago, contains this message for educators: "We have outlined in this letter Catholic teaching on war and peace, but this framework will become a living message only through your work in the Catholic community.
"To teach the ways of peace is not to 'weaken the nation's will' but to be concerned for the nation's soul."
The participants also heard from the President, who did not address the nuclear-war issue, speaking instead on a subject the ncea wholeheartedly endorses--tuition tax credits.
"Like Teddy Roosevelt at San Juan Hill, I will charge up that hill again and again until we get it [approved]," Mr. Reagan said, in a reference to Capitol Hill, where his proposal has stalled in the Congress. He also asked the group to support his Administration's voucher scheme.
The dozens of sessions held during the convention also included some of more immediate practical use to Catholic educators.
For example, Sister Rosemary Hocevar, coordinator for secondary education in the diocesan education office of Cleveland, held a session on techniques of interviewing and hiring teachers for Catholic schools.
The topic is important because most Catholic school districts now have more lay than religious teachers. In her own district, Sister Hocevar said, lay teachers constitute 75 percent of the instructional staff; approximately 10 percent of the lay teachers are not Catholic.
"It becomes important to find out their knowledge of Catholic education, their commitment in terms of years of service," she said. "They need to know the philosophy of the school."

How can we bring redemption to the people of Israel?
Some thoughts about our mental, emotional, and religious agenda.
As of this writing, we are approaching Asara b'Tevet and Shabbat Parshat Vaychi. As of your reading, you might be past one or both of those dates. Either way, the four-fold fast day and (l'havdil, maybe) the conclusion of the Book of B'reishit are fresh in our collective minds and hearts.
Every special calendar date and every weekly sedra calls upon us for introspection, and making decisions about "where do we go from here?".
There is a Midrash that states: G-d said to the people of Israel - "YOU sold Yosef into slavery in Egypt! I swear by your lives that you will say, every single year, 'AVADIM HAYINU... we were slaves to Par'o in Egypt.'"
Although there are other explanations for the Egyptian slavery prior to nationhood, this Midrash makes the clear point that our oppression and slavery was due to the enmity among the brothers. It is also well-known that the disunity within Bnei Yisrael was a major cause of the Churban... and it's a good guess that the splits among the Jewish people today are a major obstacle to the Geula Shleima.
The story of the Book of B'reishit, and especially its end, seem to plant the seeds of the Churban many hundreds of years later.
We need to ask ourselves a couple of questions. Are we just reading the Torah week in and week out, year after year - or - are we ready to do some serious repair work to ourselves, our communities, and Klal Yisrael?
Yosef might have told his brothers that they should not feel so bad for what they did to him, because it was really G-d's plan, but the families of the brothers certainly suffered bitterly thoughout the Egyptian experience.
We might also suggest that if there would have been a totally sincere reconcilliation between the brothers and Yosef, much of Tanach and subsequent Jewish History would have been vastly different.
Mourning the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash is not enough. We must examine the causes AND decide to do something about it.
To be sure, this idea has been expressed countless times throughout our history, but without judging previous generations, we are responsible for our generation, and maybe the next one or two as well.
An important pre-requisite to our working in a positve way towards hastening the Geula, is a genuine longing for the Beit HaMikdash and everything that goes along with it, a longing for the Moshiach, and a conviction that we should not merely be spectators to the process, but can and should be active participants.

Q: Obtaining All Properties of a File in Python I'm trying to grab a file property (like "Name, Date modified", "Type", "Size", etc...) from a file in python. The property is called "SW Last saved with" (click for example). This property tells you what version of Solidworks a model was saved with.
After some research, it appears that this "SW last saved with" property was added to Windows Explorer via registering a .DLL file (sldwinshellextu.dll).
Is there a way to grab this specific file property using some python function like (file.getProperty("SW last saved with"))?

A: To access the file properties or some other information from a SOLIDWORKS file without opening the file directly in SW you can use the "SwDocumentManager.dll". With this API you can use "GetDocument()" to access the specific file and get an ISwDMDocument Object. Use
 this to read the property "LastSavedDate" to get your Information.
Object Information for the ISwDMDocument Object:
https://help.solidworks.com/2020/English/api/swdocmgrapi/SolidWorks.Interop.swdocumentmgr~SolidWorks.Interop.swdocumentmgr.ISwDMDocument_members.html
General Information about how to use the SwDocumentManager API:
https://help.solidworks.com/2020/English/api/swdocmgrapi/HelpViewerDS.aspx?version=2020&prod=api&lang=English&path=swdocmgrapi%2fGettingStarted-swdocmgrapi.html&id=74236490007f4b5eb5ba233479f1e707
But I dont know anything about python and how to use it in this language. But maybe I could point you in some direction.

A: So I figured out a way to do this with the help of another post I found:
import subprocess
newCOMObjectTxt = ("$path = 'PATH_TO_SLDPRT_FILE';"
         "$shell = New-Object -COMObject Shell.Application;"
         "$folder = Split-Path $path;"
         "$file = Split-Path $path -Leaf;"
         "$shellfolder= $shell.Namespace($folder);"
         "$shellfile = $shellfolder.ParseName($file);")
 swLastSavedWithIdx = None
 swFindLastSavedWithProp = subprocess.Popen (["powershell.exe", newCOMObjectTxt + \
        "0..500 | Foreach-Object { '{0} = {1}' -f $_, $shellfolder.GetDetailsOf($null, $_)}"],
        stdout = subprocess.PIPE)
  while True:
     line = swFindLastSavedWithProp.stdout.readline()
     if b"SW Last saved with" in line:
        swLastSavedWithIdx = int(line.split()[0])
        break
     if not line:
        break
  swLastSaveWithVersion = subprocess.Popen (["powershell.exe", newCOMObjectTxt + \
        "$shellfolder.GetDetailsOf($shellfile, %i)" %swLastSavedWithIdx], stdout = subprocess.PIPE)
  ver = str(swLastSaveWithVersion.stdout.readline(),'utf-8').strip()

Basically I found that you can get all file properties via a few Windows Powershell commands. We write a few quick commands in powershell using subprocess.Popen(), then PIPE from STDOUT.

Obviously I've been reading and thinking about Burt Kimmelman's writing recently because Burt was here at the Writers House visiting. Before we move away from this poet, as is inevitable given so much that's going on, let's take one more look. It's a poem with a fabulously open first line: "Nothing is ever decided." Open enough out of context--just as a line--but now add that the poem is about a Robert Motherwell painting (seen at MoMA in January 1988) and, further, that the poet gave an illuminating brief intro to the poem before reading it at KWH the other day. Sometimes I like blogging about these matters because in such a space (as a matter of lasting record) several contexts can be laid out so easily across the various shareable media: the video (above) of the poet's intro; a PDF (click here) of the text of the poem (from the book Musaics, pp. 20-21); the audio-only recording of the poem being performed.

Do not Go Into DC for the Inauguration
1 toilet for every 6,849 people on Inauguration Day
But will there be enough places to "go" on Inauguration Day?
Crowd estimates for Jan. 20 range between 1 and 5 million people.
Metro is planning to carry upwards of 1 million riders itself on Inauguration Day, but the transit agency says it will shut down all of its public restrooms due to security concerns.
Instead, 146 portable restrooms will be set up outside of selected rail stations.
Even if the transit agency carries 1 million people on Jan. 20 — and that could be a conservative estimate — that means there would be one bathroom for every 6,849 customers.

Work to upgrade the Sletts Footpath in Lerwick will start next week, to begin work voted for by the Shetland public through the Shetland Community Choices initiative earlier this year.
The improvement work will see the 520 metre path resurfaced along its length from the "Matchbox house" to the junction with Breiwick Road.
Offering views of the Lerwick coastline and Breiwick, the path is said to be a popular route for walkers throughout the year.
The existing narrow path that cuts across the rocky coastline will be widened to a width of at least 1.2 metres or wider where possible, and will improve access for people with wheelchairs.
For safety reasons, the council says the footpath will be closed during the upgrade work which is expected to take around six to eight weeks, weather depending.
Roads manager Dave Coupe said: "The Sletts Footpath is well used by locals and visitors and we hope that these improvements will improve access to allow more people to enjoy this scenic stretch of coastline.
The Sletts Footpath upgrade works are expected to cost £87,500 to be funded by £67,500 from Shetland Community Choices and £20,000 from the SIC.
Shetland Community Choices is a participatory budgeting initiative with £50,000 provided by the Scottish government, match funded by Shetland Islands Council. A total budget of £100,000 was available to support various projects decided by a public vote in March 2017.

Katherine was great! I was very skeptical of using a broker when I moved from NYC, but she quickly changed my opinion. She found us an awesome apartment in very short notice. We could not have done it with out her!
A big shout out to Robin Copeland for finding the perfect home for us! It was such a pleasure to work with Robin. She was professional, patient and efficient through the entire process - from our initial meeting to the closing. Robin knows the market well and she listened to us. Our move to Boston was a true lifestyle change and we're so glad we had Robin on our side helping to ease the transition. We highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a home in the Boston area. Thank you, Robin Copeland.
We would highly recommend Rob to anyone who is searching for a home in the Boston area. He is very knowledgeable about the local market. But what is more importantly, he is well connected with the local developers, so he has a good sense of what is going on, even before the property hits the market. Aside from his extensive knowledge within the community, we found Rob to be very pleasant to work with. It took us a while to find our home, but never once, during the entire process did Rob pressure us into doing something we weren't comfortable with doing. He was a great support.
Working with Rob was such a pleasure! As first time buyers, his extensive experience and local knowledge of the Boston marketplace made him an invaluable asset to us in our home-buying process. His relationship with a local developer allowed us to buy our home before it was listed. He has gone out of his way many times to make sure our experience is nothing but the best.
It was very apparent from the start that Alexandra had a strong reputation within the real estate community. She made herself available 24/7 and was very creative in regard to the opportunities she showed us. She's the real deal and she'll work hard as your agent - definitely call her.
Going into the apartment search process, I was dealing with a tight timeline, constrained budget, and relatively narrow criteria. Alex was extremely helpful and responsive, lining up a half day's worth of visits right after Memorial Day weekend. She was then able to line up another half day two days later, which is when I visited the apartment I quickly settled on. She responds to texts / emails almost instantly (and seemingly at all times of the day), knows what to look for or what to point out at each unique apartment, and has valuable market knowledge in many of Boston's great neighborhoods. In one case, she could tell that I was underwhelmed by an apartment, and after checking with me, made sure that we end the visit early to be efficient with the afternoon. Once I was ready to apply, she made sure that I moved quickly, negotiated intelligently, and stayed on top of other parties in the process to ensure my application would be accepted. I would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking to buy, rent, or sell in the Boston market.
I couldn't have found my apartment without Katherine! She was very quick to respond and set up visits and helped set up as many visits as it took to find the perfect fit.
Alex Biega was fantastic to work with. Her insight and professionalism were perfectly balanced to help ensure that we got a great price on the sale of our condo. She consistently went above and beyond to provide outstanding support and manage the whole process seamlessly. This was most appreciated, as most of our interactions took place internationally, as we were overseas from listing through closing. We couldn't have asked for anyone better.
Katherine was fantastic to work with. She found us the perfect place and was knowledgeable about the areas we were looking in, which was what we needed being newcomers to Boston. She listened to the key things we were in the market for and made sure every listing we were looking at had those components. She was responsive and negotiated the price we were hoping for. I would recommend her to any family/friends looking for a new place or selling their homes.
Alex and Rob were incredible. They worked within my budget, were super responsive/efficient, and know the market really well. Also very friendly and no pressure at all. Took 2 days (1 day really, but then I slept on it...) and thrilled with my new apartment.


Ben presented to ArtLab Dentistry having several problems with his teeth, including dry mouth, missing teeth, a collapsed bite, and root decay. Root decay is one of those conditions that can spread very aggressively and is very difficult to control properly. Even if it has been cleaned and treated, it has a high chance of returning. Because of this problem, a more permanent solution is often recommended. In Ben's case, it was necessary.
Ben is an actor, with a fantastic smile, charisma, and personality that needs to be out there interacting with the public and performing his job in front of the camera. He has been in various movies over the years (Jaws, for one). He wanted to get back to doing what he loves most, being an actor, but felt limited by the look of his teeth. He is a youthful man with a lot of energy, but the condition of his mouth was keeping him from enjoying his life and work.
We were able to transition Ben's failing, collapsed and decaying dentition. We placed implants with attached provisional teeth, which made an immediate impact. The implants were allowed to heal and integrate into Ben's jawbone and become part of his body.
After healing was complete we placed Ben's final monolithic zirconia restorations. These restorations are made from a material that is just stained, not layered with a lot of ceramic. It is very strong, very attractive, and with new techniques we can get some beautiful natural-looking translucency. This material also is less likely to have chipping, which used to be a problem with traditional ceramic restorations.
Ben's treatment was completed in about 6-8 months. His life has been transformed and he is improving the quality of his work and his life. We are happy to have Ben as part of the ArtLab Dentistry family. It is always a pleasure to see Ben when he visits the office.
Read in Ben's own words how he feels about his experience at ArtLab Dentistry.
"By the time my father was 50 he didn't have a tooth in his head. Failing in my duty as a good son to outdo him, it wasn't until I was 60 that I managed to equal such a feat.
During WWI, more focused on saving the world than my father's smile, the US military on a mission of mercy evacuated his teeth from his mouth in one fell swoop. I myself had the pleasure of spending years upon years, thousands upon thousands of dollars on dentist after dentist. Each was more bent than the other on saving my teeth by way of multiple root canals, bone grafts, scalings, root planing, gum surgery, deep cleanings, crowns, caps, veneers, and on and on and all, as I had suspected might be the case, to no avail.
So when gifted with the, oh so joyous, task of looking for, finding, meeting, interviewing, and vetting a bunch of complete strangers to decide which one to entrust with the demolition and reconstruction of the number one aspect of myself called upon every day of my life to best represent who I am as a human being, not to mention with saving, maintaining, and/or recreating any remaining ability I may have had to bite, chew, eat, speak, get a job, date, kiss, be intimate, basically everything and anything having any bearing on my physical, emotional, and psychological well-being responsible for any semblance of self-worth I cared to hold on to, I gathered all of my well-earned fears, concerns, and anxieties, threw them in a kitchen drawer, and set out on what I was certain would be a physical, mental, and emotional marathon to find a doctor whose work would speak louder than their well paid for, highly tested, and committee agreed upon sales pitch.
I've been through enough dental work in my life to learn that, while some discomfort is inevitable, there is rarely if ever any real pain. That aspect of my impending journey held little concern. What did concern me, however, was my realization that pure perfection was no longer the only thing driving my ultimate decision.
It seemed the older I'd gotten the less willing I'd become to accept the varying degrees of unpleasantness generally accepted as inevitable on the way to the type of perfection I was in search of. It wasn't that I was all of a sudden willing to settle for less than pure perfection. I wasn't. It was just that what I was willing to go through to achieve that pure perfection had become more important to me. While experience had taught me that I could get through pretty much anything on my own, I simply no longer wanted to.
I've met brilliant doctors incapable of looking me in the eye for fear they might grow to care about their patient. I've met doctors I would've been happy to have as my therapist but would have had to see my therapist had I let them treat me. And I've met Doctors I could've been friends with but as my friend would have never let me be treated by them.
So when Dr. Reshad appeared from around a corner as I stood checking in for my consultation, I was somewhat taken aback. Most people will generally work up a smile the first time they meet you, especially if you may be about to give them money. But the smile emanating from Dr. Reshad's face caught me completely off guard. For the first time in my life I had walked into a dentist's office and within literal seconds been overcome by a wave of relaxation. Peace. It wasn't so much his smile, but rather the extent to which he was engaged in his smile. One hundred percent of his energy was laser-focused on and in my eyes. This wasn't simply a man offering his services as a doctor, this was a man who happened to be a doctor offering himself as a human being.
What struck me the most, and the thing that will stick with me for the rest of my life was that within the first 60 seconds of my consultation not only did I know that Dr. Reshad was going to be my doctor, I knew he was going to be my partner throughout this journey as well. I would not be going through this transformation alone.
Have you ever had someone other than your usual person cut your hair? Put makeup on your face or run a tape measure up and down the length of your inseam? Do you remember how your body felt as it anticipated the very instant of unfamiliar physical contact? The instant in which this brand new person's physical energy would come head to head with your own? The instant in which your animal instincts would not only let you know whether or not this was someone you wanted to have touching you, but whether or not you were going to be walking out the door within the next 5 minutes.
Dr. Reshad loves what he does. Each and every step of the process is important to him, and something he is invested in. Not simply because he is a caring and giving man but because he considers everything he does, every part of the process, it's own individual work of art. It matters to him. Not only does he take pride in what he does, but he also derives tremendous pleasure from it as well. All of which becomes exponentially more apparent every time you find yourself sitting in his chair. And it is palpable. You don't leave his office thinking about these things. You leave it knowing these things.
He doesn't take the journey with you because he thinks he should or because he wants to be seen as a good guy (which he is), he takes the journey with you because he can't help himself. He is personally invested in "the work". It is the way he identifies himself. It is the way he defines himself as a man.
His personal anticipation of the results of his work and his hope of perfection of each step of the process is second only to the patient's own anticipation. And at times I think even more so than the patient's.
A patient takes the one experience with them when they're done. A wonderful experience. Dr. Reshad takes every experience with him, no matter where he is or what he's doing, and hopes the patient's experience continues to be wonderful.
O.K. If they say so. However, my experience with Dr. Mamaly Reshad was and continues to be, about the overwhelming and incontrovertible success of the journey."

Ivan Abreu at The Front
On Thursday, September 3rd, The Front welcomed artist Ivan Abreu and his multimedia exhibit Looming.
Born and raised in Cuba, Abreu currently works as a graphic designer, an academic and an artist. Nineteen years ago, Abreu was invited to do a poster exhibition in Mexico City at the age of twenty-six. At the end of the exhibit, he stayed. He has lived in Mexico City ever since.
Art curator Illya Hiro recently invited him to depict the border between San Diego and Tijuana through abstract multi-media art.
Curator Illya Haro
Haro invited Abreu precisely because he was not an artist from Tijuana or San Diego. Instead, she wanted an artist who represented translocation, who knew something about migration, identity and mobility all at once. Haro worked as Exhibition Manager for five years in CECUT's Centro Cultural de Tijuana. Having studied art history in Rome, she made connections internationally and knew Abreu from other projects.
Deeply involved in the project herself, Haro first took many photographs atop the hills of Tijuana that overlook the border. Starting in the posh areas of Tijuana and making her way to the Otay Mountains and the Tijuana International Airport, Haro sent the photographs to Abreu in Mexico City, who then generated more than 500 photographs on the computer.
For Haro, the exhibit was personal. Born in Tijuana, Haro grew up as a transnational, moving back and forth from San Diego and Tijuana regularly. For her, the border was a normal condition. Due to economic possibility and the fact that she stemmed from a family that had roots in Tijuana for generations, Haro always had the visa and was able to go back and forth between San Diego and Tijuana at all times.
Given the opportunity to create an exhibit for The Front in San Ysidro, she realized the importance of this border town. Admittedly, Haro had only passed through San Ysidro for three reasons: the Casa de Cambio, the bank and the gas station. When considering an at exhibit about mobility, it was only appropriate to have the exhibit open in San Ysidro.
What's more, Haro didn't want to talk about migration, mobility and the border in a literal way. In particular, she didn't want to depict the border in its usual negative terms. Instead, she and Abreu wanted to think about mobility and migration in a poetic way.
They choose to analyze the conditions of when you are in TJ looking toward San Diego and how everything is effects your point of view: the weather, your position, the time, the day, the moment.
Looming, The Atmospheric Landscape
Abreu combined his interest in atmospheric pictures of landscape with what was really going on at the border. He first wrote a computer program that could read the daily changes in climate. Some of the data that was produced in these climate reports included atmospheric visibility. Abreu then tried to imagine what the landscape would look like using the information he was receiving. For approximately three months, Abreu overlayed the daily weather logarithm to the photographs.
The result was a running movie consisting of 500 photographs of the border panorama with the changing atmosphere. Alongside the movie, the exhibit displayed 17 still photographs of the atmospheric panorama on the walls.
The Watchtowers
In the center of the space, small watchtowers stood like chess pieces on top of a smooth white surface. Abreu modeled each watchtower a little differently and wanted to create a sense of distance. "They are watchtowers. They are stairs. People that are on vigil, they always go up the stairs to look even farther."
Every few minutes a camera photographed the watchtowers and the image was projected onto a wall. The watchtowers appeared life-size against the background of the Tijuana atmospheric panorama. The work of art brought both watchtowers and atmospheric visibility together in a constantly changing piece.
Abreu explained that the watchtowers represent residents climbing up to see what is in the beyond. "When you are at the border, you are always very attentive to what is going on on the other side, to what's on the horizon."
When asked if Abreu could relate to this from having lived in isolated Communist Cuba, always looking towards the United States and wondering about life on the horizon, he responded quickly: Yes.
Abreu said, "The border is the third country. It's another way of thinking. The thinking is more global…"
Thanks to Lisa Hoffman for helping translate Ivan Abreu's explanation of his exhibit!

Following years of raised tensions, Pakistan is now warning the United States that friendly relations between the two nations could be severed if the US continues to blame them on recent attacks in Afghanistan.
Speaking this Thursday before Congress, Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, alleged that the September 10 attack outside of Kabul, Afghanistan was orchestrated with support from Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the Pakistani spy organization.
"With ISI support, Haqqani operatives planned and conducted that truck bomb attack, as well as the assault on our embassy," Mullen said yesterday at in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee. That truck bomb near a NATO outpost south of Kabul killed at least five people and wounded 77 NATO troops.
Admiral Mullen believes that that isn't the only incident tied to the Pakistani government. "We also have credible evidence that they were behind the June 28 attack against the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul and a host of other smaller but effective operations," added the official.
Mullen went on to call the Haqqani militants responsible for the attacks a "veritable arm" of the ISI.
In response to his allegations, not only have Pakistani top-brass rejected his claims, but have threatened the United States that the powerful alliance between the two countries often at odds could come to a halt if American officials continue to come after Pakistan for terror attacks.
"If you say that it is ISI involved in that attack, I categorically deny it," Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik responded shortly after Mullen's statements to Reuters. "We have no such policy to attack or aid attack through Pakistani forces or through any Pakistani assistance."
Other officials overseas add that the United States' allegations come at a time when an alliance with Pakistan is crucial for the continuation of America's War on Terror. While occupation of Afghanistan is expected to be drawn back in the days and months ahead, Pakistan continues to serve as a crucial outpost for the US military while they search for insurgents in neighboring Afghanistan and locally. American troops stormed the Abbottabad, Pakistan compound of former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden earlier this year, and following years of American military presence, tensions between Pakistan and the US have only worsened since that incident, where Pakistan alleged that the US left them in the dark before executing the raid.
Now officials say that if the US wants the continued support of Pakistan, they will have to be a bit more careful with their words.
"You cannot afford to alienate Pakistan, you cannot afford to alienate the Pakistani people. If you are choosing to do so and if they are choosing to do so it will be at their (the United States') own cost," said Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar in response to Mullen's comments. Speaking to Geo TV in New York today, Khar said that the US "will lose an ally" should they continue to pin the blame on Pakistan.
Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani echoed those sentiments to reporters this week as well, cautioning America that an alliance with Pakistan is imperative to operations in Asia.
"The message for America is: 'They can't live with us, they can't live without us," said Gilani.
The Russians and their Chinese allies would love to have Pakistan openly in their camp.
Is this pretty much a fait accompli?

Fine, Pakistan threatens us now, then lets just pull out of Afghanistan, Pakistan and cut off all aid and support across the board to Pakistan — and tell them they now swing in the wind on their own merits.

The principles of the 3Rs concerning animal experimentation have been postulated in 1959 by William Russell and Rex Burch in a book entitled "Principles of Humane Experimental Technique". The principles are today internationally widely recognized by scientists as a moral obligation. They are moreover implemented in many national legislations on animal protection.
Replace: Whenever it is possible to replace an animal experiment by an alternative method (e.g. an in vitro study, a study in humans, a computer simulation study, or a study using lower organisms), the animal experiment should not be pursued.
Reduce: If an animal study is considered necessary, as few animals as possible should be foreseen, however not too few in order not to compromise the validity of the study.
Refine: Before, during and after the experiment use approaches and methods to minimise the distress to the animal.
Whereas Replacement and Reduction have to be considered primarily in the planning phase of an experiment, Refinement has primarily to be implemented when handling the animal in practice.
Although the principles of the 3Rs are widely promoted, the scientific community is accepting the fact that there is room for improvement in the practical implementation of the principles.

Linda was a member of my church for many years before the following events took place. She was a very intelligent and outgoing person, a committed Christian and an extremely reliable church worker. Nothing in the way she related to her fellow parishioners or did her work for the ministry indicated that she had a spiritual problem. However, Linda had one particular issue in her life that she could not resolve: every single relationship she was in eventually broke up. Every man she became involved with ended up leaving her because of various excuses�it almost seemed as if they were being frightened off, or threatened into leaving. This happened so many times that I began to wonder what could be wrong. One day, however, the cause of her problems surfaced� and led to a rather dramatic chain of events. I was conducting a month end revival service at the church, and the Lord told me that there was someone in the audience who was being defiled every night by a spirit husband.1 Linda was ushering that night and when I revealed what the Lord had said, she raised her hand in the back of the church where she was stationed. I acknowledged seeing her and proceeded to pray for her. I commanded the spirit to lose access to her from that day forward. The following Sunday she told me that the spirit had attempted to sleep with her again, but could not. The spirit left in anger and promised to deal ruthlessly with her. I told her not to worry, and that God was in absolute control. I never doubted this for a moment, but the situation was still to worsen. From that day, Linda started hearing voices. The voices were insistent, persuasive. They would tell her to leap into the river or jump in front of oncoming vehicles or trains. She was afraid to go out because each time she did, the voices began again. As days turned into weeks, the intensity of these suicidal urges became greater and greater. Linda first told my wife of this after Bible study one week, knowing she couldn�t withstand the voices much longer. My wife prayed with her and urged her to go and speak with me during my regular Thursday afternoon walk-in counseling session. She came that Thursday and told me of her experience. While she was speaking to me, the voices manifested, growing louder with each word that came out of her mouth. They ordered her to stop speaking to me about her situation. She abruptly stopped talking in the middle of a sentence. I, understandably, was baffled. I said, �Linda, why did you stop talking?� Her reply was tense. �Don�t you see the �people� in your office telling me to be quiet?� �No,� was my reply. Then I asked her to describe what �the people� looked like. She told me they were around her age (about thirty two years old) with long dark hair and complexions resembling that of people of Indian descent. They were not unfamiliar to her: she said she had been seeing them in her dreams since she was young. In these dreams, she played with them in bodies of water. I immediately knew they were spiritual beings. I then prayed the following prayer. I said, �In the name of Jesus, I take authority over you demonic beings in my office right now. You have no right to invade this place. I send the fire of God after you and I decree that God�s angels chase you out of this office. I also command the fear and intimidation you hold over Linda be broken right now in the name of Jesus.� Immediately, Linda relaxed and was able to talk freely. However she had not gone too far in her conversation before the spirit beings came back again. I prayed another prayer and they left only to come back again. This happened many times. Fortunately, my deliverance team was in church that afternoon, so I handed her over to them for prayer. She was not pleased, another indication that the spirits were still victimizing her. Experience has taught me that some people should never be told exactly when they will be prayed for. Had I told Linda that she would be prayed for ahead of time, it is very probable that the spirits would either have prevented her from coming or would have refused to manifest themselves. The deliverance team prayed fervently for her and commanded the fire of God to break every link she had with the marine kingdom. By God�s grace, the prayers were effective. Linda screamed out with a loud voice and fell on the ground as if she were dead, screaming �fire is burning me!� as she did so. By the time the session was over, something had changed in Linda; even her facial expression was different. She went home, in peace at last. Then, that night something happened�something that would add yet another missing piece to the puzzle that had been her life thus far. Linda�s mother called to check on her. That would have not been unusual, as such a move is expected between parent and child; what was strange was the question she had for her daughter. �Are you alive?� she asked Linda, as if she could not believe it, despite the fact they were speaking on the phone. Confused, Linda pressed her mother to tell her the reason for the strange question. The answer she got was eye opening and more than a little disturbing. Linda�s mother told her that when she married many years earlier, she was unable to conceive. She was taken to a marine witchcraft practitioner, and was told to come back on a certain day to perform rituals in order to obtain a child. When Linda�s mother went back, she met another woman who had come for the same purpose. Both were taken to the Atlantic Ocean and given a �spiritual bath,� among other things. Then they were both given a charm to throw into the Atlantic Ocean with their backs to the water, and were told not to look back. This demonic ritual was performed under the cover of darkness, long after dusk. Now that the ritual was completed successfully, the witchcraft practitioner told both women that they would both be pregnant that month�albeit, with some conditions. The first condition was somewhat reasonable. Sacrifices, the witch-doctor said, must be made to the spirits responsible, until the children were old enough to take over the offerings themselves. Secondly, she told them that the children would die at age sixteen. They were �on loan,� from the Atlantic Ocean, but must return after sixteen years. There was a clause in the condition; the women were allowed one, and only one, �extension of life,� doubling the life of their children to a span of thirty-two years. She finished by informing her two customers that both children would be girls, and be pharmacists. Chillingly, the week that Linda was hearing voices urging her to commit suicide was the same week she turned thirty-two years old. Her �time� had expired, and the spirits wanted their �daughter,� Linda, back. The week we did deliverance for her was the week she was supposed to die. Unfortunately for them and to the glory of God, she escaped from their hands. She was taken from under the power of Satan, and every effort to kill her failed. Her mother enquired from her how she had managed to stay alive. Linda told her about the voices and the subsequent experience in my office followed by the deliverance session. Her mother was overjoyed, and for good reason; the daughter of the woman who had gone through that same ritual had recently died. When it was clear that the sprits had lost Linda forever, they told her mother that she had to give her life in Linda�s place. She first had a stroke and eventually died of mysterious causes. The enemy, furious that he had been cheated, began to attack in other ways. After her initial deliverance I told Linda to search her home for anything connected to the waters, and bring it to me. She was fascinated by images of the mermaid. All her bedside lamps were made with the image of the mermaid. She brought these things so we could destroy them to prevent any spiritual links and open doors to her past. I was in the church the day we scheduled, ready for our appointment�and suddenly, I heard a commotion in front of my office. It was my deliverance ministers, carrying Linda to me. She had a hand on her forehead and was in great pain. She told me that when she reached the front of the church, a strong gust of wind lifted her from the ground and slammed her against the concrete wall of the church. I immediately knew it was a counter attack because of the victories already won and for the things we were about to destroy. We destroyed every one of those items. After that, all attacks against Linda permanently stopped. I am happy to report to you that Linda is alive and well. She is happily married to a pastor. Deliverance Works!

Injury Update: Arsenal vs Manchester United
byCalcio Insider
Arsenal entertain Manchester United in Saturday's mouth-watering clash at the Emirates Stadium. Both teams secured victories during the midweek set of fixtures but there were key injuries to players from either side.
Injury Update:
Arsenal:
The Gunners saw Alexandre Lacazette fail to come out during the second-half of the 5-0 win over Huddersfield on Wednesday night, and Arsene Wenger, later on, confirmed that the Frenchman had sustained a groin injury, as per BBC Sport, which could keep him out 'for a while'. Other than this, the north London side have a near full squad to choose from, barring Santi Cazorla who has recently had his ninth operation for persistent pain on his Achilles tendon.
Manchester United's injury concerns are far worse than the Gunners. Both Phil Jones and Eric Bailly are still deemed to be recovering from their respective injuries, as per ManUtd.com, but the biggest loss of all could be Nemanja Matic. The Serbia international sustained a leg muscle injury during the 4-3 triumph over Watford and he looks a major doubt to make the United lineup this weekend, The Star claims.
Aside from this, midfield duo Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini are also on the sidelines with the former offered an extended rest after a heart procedure, which has hindered his chances of first-team football since the League Cup game versus Burton Albion in September.
Arsenal have looked impressive under the 3-4-2-1 formation, and this has seen them win 12 Premier League games on the trot at the Emirates, which happens to be their best record since moving on from Highbury in 2006.
Manchester United have dominated play against the Gunners previously, but there has been a minor power shift in the past two seasons, where the Red Devils have attained just one victory in four attempts.

Q: Windows system shows wrong amount of RAM? I just got an ASUS Eee PC 1005HA and immediately upgraded it to 2 GB of RAM. However, when I open up the Windows System Dialog, it says there is only .99 GB of RAM. CPU-Z sees the whole 2 GB though. What's going on here?
The BIOS also reports the correct amount of memory in the system.

A: Go into the BIOS and save the changes - only then will Windows report the correct amount of RAM.

P.S. this is one of the most frequently asked questions over at eeeuser.com :)

A: I remember that Windows didn't immediately pick up my RAM upgrades right away. Try rebooting a few times.

A: This problem should be related to how much ram the BIOS reports to Windows.
What's your BIOS version? Try to update to the newest 0801 from here, select WinXP then BIOS 0801.

In a Christmas Day rematch, the Warriors (33-14) coasted their way to a 130-111 win over their Pacific Division-rival Lakers (25-23). Golden State's team effort to tie the season series featured all 12 active Warriors scoring at least two points.
Golden State finished the night with 41 assists as a team while the Lakers had only 20 too. Forward Kevin Durant scored 20 points, four assists and six rebounds too but it was Klay Thompson's 44-point night that stole the show.
"…The ball was moving and Klay [Thompson] was spectacular." Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said after his team's eighth straight win.
The All-Star two guard led the Warriors in scoring and he shot 10-of-11 from three-point range. Not to mention, Thompson took 20 total shots and only missed three field goals the entire night.
Thompson finished the first half with 21 points, three rebounds and an assist as the Warriors held a 65-55 advantage.
Turnovers were the difference in the first half. The Warriors scored 15 points off 8 Lakers turnovers while L.A. only converted eight points of six G.S.W turnovers. Golden State also held a 12-2 advantage over the Lakers in fast break points for the first half too.
The Warriors carried that moment into a 7-0 run to start the first few minutes of the third. Naturally, it was Thompson's three with more than nine minutes left in the third that would give the visiting team a 80-60 advantage. Thompson had 38 points halfway through the third as his team held a 92-63 lead.
"I just happened to be on one tonight and I'm happy I was able to do it in front of my family." Thompson said.
The last time these two teams faced each other, the Lakers routed the Warriors 127-101. L.A. led by as much as 31 and finished the game shooting 53 percent from the field as a team but LeBron James left that game with a groin injury that has kept him out since.
In addition to James, the Lakers were without Lonzo Ball in this matchup. Ball left Saturday's game with an ankle injury. An MRI revealed he suffered a Grade 3 ankle sprain. He's expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
That's on top of veteran point guard Rajon Rondo who missed his 14th consecutive game due to a finger injury. Rondo is expected to return in the Lakers' next contest barring any setbacks.
Still, L.A. started the night with Brandon Ingram as the primary point guard. With 5:13 left on the game clock in the first, Ingram dribbled down the lane and converted a contested layup and foul. He added the free throw which gave the Lakers a 14-12 advantage.
After that it was all Warriors in the first who closed the quarter 29-24. Thompson scored 11 in the first quarter for Golden State and neither he or the Warriors looked back.
Ingram looked more comfortable and played more within the offense in the second period. He found Ivica Zubac on a pick and roll that would be one of his two assists in the second. Ingram finished the second quarter with seven points, two rebounds and two assists, compared to the first where he had just six points and no assists.
Walton added Ingram got himself going and was play-making but the Warriors just made runs. Ingram registered 17 points and five rebounds and three assists while Zubac added 18 points, four rebounds and a block.
"He's earned more minutes and we'll continue to play him in a bigger role." Walton said about Zubac's performance. The Center also scored 18 points when the Lakers played Golden State on X-mas.
Otherwise, Lakers guard Josh Hart made his 21st start thanks to the void left by Ball's injury. Hart made the Lakers' first bucket of the game with a contested three from the top of the arc. He also converted a three halfway through the second that brought the Lakers within seven. Those were the second-year guards only points.
Michael Beasley provided a nice spark for the Lakers in the first half. The veteran forward finished the first two quarter with eight points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field. Beasley ended the night with 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting as well as two assists and five rebounds.
Meanwhile, Kyle Kuzma struggled scoring efficiently. He was 5-of-14 in the first half with 11 points. Kuzma scored only 16 on 7-of-18 shooting in the rout.
"Obviously, anytime you are down like that it's going to affect your offense and we just didn't make shots tonight." Kuzma said about the team being short-handed without a couple of play makers and not finding a rhythm versus the Warriors.
However, Golden State wasn't without their struggles. DeMarcus Cousins made his second start since returning from an Achilles' injury. The 2018 free agent acquisition went 2-of-9 in 21 minutes.
Warrors guard Steph Curry only scored 11 points and forward Draymond Green only added five points versus the Lakers. Both All-Stars shot 25 percent from the field as well. They both did do their part passing the ball, though. Curry finished with 12 assists while Green had six of his own.
L.A.'s blowout loss to Golden State contrasts their last two contests which resulted in overtime. The Lakers lost on Jan. 17 to the Rockets 134-138 on the road. They went to Houston off a 138-128 OT win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Lake Show entered the contest a half game behind the Clippers for the West's No. 8 seed. Now, the Lakers next chance to move up the conference standings tips off at 7:30 p.m. PST versus the 11th seeded Minnesota Timberwolves (22-24) at Staples Center on Jan. 24.

Condé Nast Traveller launches global editorial initiative "Under One Sky" to honor the travel industry amidst pandemic
Historic initiative unites six titles around the world in first-ever collaborative tribute to celebrate the travel industry
Condé Nast Traveller
In this moment of uncertainty, when travel has never been more logistically complicated, Condé Nast Traveller has launched a global editorial initiative that is part love letter, part tribute to the industry it covers.
For the first time, several international editions of Condé Nast Traveller have aligned under a single theme: Under One Sky. Partnering with its sister titles in the U.K., U.S., India, the Middle East, Spain and China, the initiative celebrates the travel industry by bringing together an array of diverse perspectives in a collaborative tribute to travel at a time when the brand's global audience misses it the most.
"We may be staying home during the coronavirus travel restrictions, but our urge to connect to the world is stronger than ever," said Melinda Stevens, Global Editor-in-Chief of Condé Nast Traveller. "That's why we're sharing dispatches from a choir of voices around the world—shining a spotlight on our beloved industry and encouraging readers to dream about the world's possibilities."
In print and online, each market bookmarks the go-to destinations and experiences of the best-travelled people we know: writers, artists, photographers, hoteliers, tour guides, and travel industry insiders share with readers the cherished places they return to—at least, in memory—again and again.
"Travel faces its biggest challenge right now as borders close. But it is exactly at this time that we find ourselves going beyond borders, united by the many things we have in common, standing together under one sky," said Stevens.
Condé Nast Traveller believes travel is a force for good. As the industry's leading travel authority and inspiration destination, now more than ever, the brand aims to highlight those who are driving the industry forward, and continue to serve as a resource to travelers dreaming about where they'll go next. Condé Nast Traveller is dedicated to reporting the most up-to-date advice, whether that's about flight cancellations, international travel restrictions, or how destinations around the world are beginning to reopen.

Bell Island Minequest
The Geography and History of Bell Island Mine
Jill Heinerth – Into the Planet
In 2004, the Department of Natural Resources, Mines Branch for Newfoundland and Labrador produced a report that described some of the history and geography of the Bell Island Mine.
The presence of iron ore on Bell Island was first recorded in the late 16th century, but it was not until the 1890's that the Bell Island deposits attracted the attention of entrepreneurs and mining interests. By 1892, the deposits had come under the control of the Butler family of Topsail, who brought in agents of the New Glasgow Iron, Coal and Rail Company of Nova Scotia. Scotia opened the first mine on Bell Island in the summer of 1895 with local miners quarrying and hand-cobbing the ore from the lowermost of the three iron-rich beds. In 1899, the Whitney Company (latterly called the Dominion Iron and Steel Corporation or Dosco) acquired the rights to the lower and upper beds on land, and 776 hectares of submarine claims to a distance of 1.6 kilometres from the shoreline. The Scotia Company retained all rights seaward of the Dosco ground.
In 1902, the surface exposures of the Lower and Middle Beds were mined out and underground production began. Access to the submarine iron ore deposits was gained via 4 portal down-dip slopes equipped with conveyor haulage to the surface. The mine workings would eventually extend 15 square km under Conception Bay with recoveries from room and pillar panels ranging from 50 to 63 per cent, depending on physical conditions.
Mining of the Wabana submarine iron deposits spanned a period of 73 years, until closure on June 30, 1966. During its lifetime, Wabana shipped over 80 million tonnes of raw and upgraded iron ore to Canada, Germany, the United States, Belgium and Holland. Until the 1950's, Wabana was the sole source of iron for the Sydney steel mills.
At the time of closure, Wabana was facing the late-life crisis of all evolving mines; increasing pressure to improve productivity, and demands for a higher quality product in a changing world market place. As iron ore smelters world-wide converted to the new smelting technology, the demand for direct shipping ore began to shrink, and the high silica and phosphorous contents of the Wabana ore made it an unattractive product. Research to improve the ore grade and remove contaminants had been under way for some time but the changes were never implemented.
The Wabana and Bell Island Groups of the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland consist of fossiliferous Lower Ordovician shales and sandstones, with many intercalated oolitic hematite beds, dipping 8 to 11 degrees north-northwest (Hayes, 1928; Anson, 1951; Coughlan, 1965; Buchan and Hodych, 1982; and Ranger, Pickergill and Fillion, 1984).

This training guidebook can be introduced into national teaching institutions that would serve as regional-hubs supported by ILO and GAIN trainers. Ideally, over time two introductory institutions would formalize such training in national curricula or as an elective in a university programme. It could become an economics course or elective for bachelor- or masters-level students.

Linux Lite eases Windows 7 users transition to Linux much more comfortable by offering simple software like Teamviewer, VLC, Firefox, Chrome, the Timeshift backup utility, and a full Microsoft Office compatible office suite in LibreOffice. The timing of the release of Linux Lite 4.8 could not have been more perfect. With Microsoft ending support for the popular Windows 7 operating system. While the company hopes that existing Windows 7 users will upgrade to Windows 10, many users are reluctant to do so, tired of the copious amount of updates, not to mention their perception that the software giant's data collection methods are aggressive and dubious. For these users, the newly released Linux Lite 4.8 is a tempting alternative.
